About the Lecture:

Although self-portraits have been made by artists since the earliest times, it was not until the Renaissance in mid-15th-century Italy and Northern Europe that artists began depicting themselves, sometimes frequently, as an identifiable subject in their work. This lecture examines the genre of artists’ self-portraits—drawn, painted, photographed, or sculpted—and reveals men and women from the past to the present whose works are well-known but whose own faces often are not.

James Jensen is the Curator of Contemporary Art at the Honolulu Museum of Art.
